I think it’s more complicated than that. I’ve seen blue and green chicken eggs, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen blue or green chickens. And I’m pretty sure some white chickens can lay brown eggs, and vice-versa.

It depends on the breed of chicken.

I believe this is true as well, although I haven’t found any definite confirmation on the web. Certainly for most birds, egg color bears little relation to the color of the bird itself.

I think you must be thinking of Alferd (or Alfred) Packer, the “Colorado Cannibal,” who alledgedly said:

Although Packer was sentenced to death, it was not carried out. He was imprisoned but eventually paroled.

As a grad student at the University of Colorado, I had many a Packerburger at the Alferd G. Packer Memorial Grill.

Yes, I was thinking of Packer! Thanks for giving me the Straight Dope.

Great name for a grill… those crazy UC students.

Gabriela, I am sorry. I never wanted to make anyone crazy. We bought some brown eggs here, and I was thinking about how brown chickens lay brown eggs, and white chickens lay white eggs, and I was wondering, what kind of internal process that changes the feathers of a chicken also changes an eggshell? And it just sort of spiraled out into this question. It was not meant in any way to be racist or anything. Upon further reflection, and the reading of these responses, I realize that of course the insides would be the same. But it didn’t seem that way to me at first. I apologise if I offended you.

Sure, no problem.
